Chill. Toast pecans in a microwave or (4 ounces) a dry saucepan over a high flame till they darken a little and start to smell nutty, around 1 minute, next finely chop and keep to one side. Bring cream plus milk to a simmer in a heavy-bottomed saucepan while pecans toast. Remove from heat, mix in pecans, cover, plus steep for 1 to 2 hours. Brown butter and keep to one side in a light-colored skillet. Beat together egg yolks and sugar till everything is uniformly mixed in a clean heavy-bottomed saucepan. Strain cream mixture through a fine sieve in pot using eggs plus sugar, followed by browned butter; discard soaked pecans. Beat till fully mixed, next set over a mid-sized flame and cook, beating often, till a custard forms on a spoon plus a finger swiped across this back leaves a clean line, or till custard temperature reaches 75°C. Add salt till it tastes right. Pour custard through a fine sieve in an airtight container plus put in the fridge in an ice bath or fridge till temperature drops to 5°C, around 4 hours for ice bath, up in order to overnight for fridge. Churn the custard in your ice-cream maker as its maker directs. Toast and roughly chop leftover 4 ounces of pecans, next chill in freezer while ice cream churns. Tip in pecans to ice cream during final minute of churning. Move churned ice cream to an airtight container plus harden in freezer for no less than 4 hours before serving.
